Critic Reviews for Nioh 2

An absorbing, tense and well-wrought samurai adventure let down by a little too much recycling and some muddled new systems.

Nioh 2's many systems may be a little overwhelming, but the stellar combat and satisfying difficulty make it worth it.

It's not changed much but what improvements there are, are all positive in what remains the best Dark Souls clone not made by From Software.

Nioh 2 is even tougher than the original, and you'll get on its level or happily die trying.

Nioh 2 crafts its tough experience with precise, delicious Team Ninja combat. On top of that is an entire mass of additional systems that offer players a way forward if your skills aren't top-notch. When those systems come together, Nioh 2 can make you feel powerful, but it does feel like a mess of numbers and bonuses thrown your way at times. You're surprisingly versatile, but you're also forced into a lot of management. A bit of trimming would've led to a near-perfect experience, rather than just a great one.
